For all of you saying they should have picked terminator instead of terminator 2, They DID. It says Terminator/Terminator 2. That means they picked both.
Well, the reason behind my reaction was because I felt that the context was misleading, as in “Look, there are machines in Eternal Sunshine, it’s science fiction!” and then lump it together with titles like the Matrix, V, Terminator and Blade Runner. And no matter what I think of genres, they are still there and people have opinions on them.
CalMeacham’s post on soft sc-fi makes sense. In a modern fiction setting where genres and styles influence eachother, it might be as good as any.

The list was only of movies within the past25 years. 2001 is much older than that.
